# Emergency Lighting Test Register (/docs/form-guides/electrical/national/national-emergency-lighting-test-register)



The **emergency lighting test register** records discharge testing of exit and emergency lights, aligned with AS/NZS 2293.2. Add each fitting as you test it, record the result, and download a signed PDF for the client and your records.

This is a Tradie Forms designed register, not a government form. There is no official layout to match, so the PDF is a clean register that grows extra pages as you add fittings.

[Open the Emergency Lighting Test Register](/forms/national-emergency-lighting-test-register) when the site and fitting list are ready.

<Callout type="info" className="docs-callout-info my-4">
  The form suggests dates from the interval you choose. Check the current
  standard, building requirements, and site procedure before relying on a test
  duration or next-due date.
</Callout>

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

* Know the **client and site** the register covers.
* Confirm the **test type** and rated **duration** the fittings must sustain.
* Confirm the retest interval that applies to the building.
* Have the fitting IDs or an asset list ready so every result can be traced to the right fitting.

<span id="business" />

## Business [#business]

Your business and tester details. These fill the register header.

* **Business Logo** - optional. Upload your logo and it shows top right on the downloaded register.

<Cards className="docs-cards docs-cards-cols-2 my-6">
  <Card title="Required fields" icon="info">

* **Licence or Competency No.** - optional; include it when the client or site requires it.
* **Phone** - contact number for follow-up or retest bookings.

<span id="site" />

## Site [#site]

Who and where the register covers.

* **Client Name** - the business or person you tested for.
* **Job Reference** - optional job, work order, or site reference.
* **Site Address** - search the address and the suburb, state, and postcode fill automatically.

<span id="testing" />

## Testing [#testing]

* **Test Type** - for example 6 monthly discharge test, 12 monthly discharge test, or commissioning.
* **Test Duration** - enter the rated minutes the fittings must sustain.
* **Testing Basis** - the standard or site procedure used for the work.
* **Default Retest Interval** - suggests the next-due date for new register items.
* **Register Date** - the date this register covers. Tap **Today** on site.

The interval is a date helper, not a compliance decision. Change a suggested date when the building schedule or applicable requirement calls for something different.

<span id="declaration" />

## Declaration [#declaration]

Sign off the register before download.

* **Notes** - anything the client should know, like batteries replaced on site.
* **Name** and **Date** - who is signing and when.
* **Signature** - sign on screen, or drop in your saved signature.

<span id="register" />

## Register [#register]

One card per fitting. New rows can carry the previous location and test date, and the default retest interval suggests the next-due date.

* **Fitting ID**, **Fitting Description**, and **Location** - all required so the tested fitting can be found again.
* **Result**, **Test Date**, and **Next Due** - passed fittings need a next-due date.
* **Fitting details** - fitting type and minutes sustained are required.
* **Failed fittings** - select the action taken and add the failure details. A photo is optional.

Use **Duplicate** for similar fittings. It copies the description, type, duration, and location. It clears the fitting ID, result, dates, actions, and notes.

The PDF shows each fitting as a stacked record instead of a wide table. Long registers continue across pages with one consistent footer and page count.

<span id="final-check" />

## Before download [#before-download]

* Check the test type, required duration, testing basis, and register date.
* Confirm every fitting has an ID, description, location, type, sustained minutes, result, and test date.
* Add a next-due date to every pass.
* Add an action and failure details to every fail.
* Make sure the signed declaration matches the person responsible for the record.
